Muhyiddin said many PKR members had lost confidence in their leader.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin hinted more PKR lawmakers could quit the opposition party as his faltering Barisan Nasional campaign in the Permatang Pasir by-election capitalised on the walkout by PKR's Lunas assemblyman.
The Umno deputy president said they would leave as they have lost confidence in the struggles of their leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim whose Pakatan Rakyat has won six out of seven by-elections since Election 2008.
"Many PKR members and elected representatives no longer trust Anwar Ibrahim because they realise that the party's struggles are only for meant one individual, that is Anwar," Bernama quoted Muhydiddin as saying here.
He said the decision of Lunas state assemblyman Mohd Radzhi Salleh to quit the PKR showed that elected representatives from the party no longer cared about their position although they were members of the state executive council.
Muhyiddin said although he was shocked by Mohd Radzi's sudden decision to leave the PKR, nonetheless he had expected it to happen.
Kedah tourism councillor Mohd Radzhi today announced his decision to leave the party and become an independent assemblyman, saying that he had lost confidence in the party's struggles.
He also claimed that 200 Padang Serai PKR members left the party as they had lost confidence in the party's leadership which no longer followed the original objectives of the party's formation.
Muhyiddin said the voters in Permatang Pasir should learn their lesson and should no longer be duped by Anwar's struggles and stop supporting the opposition coalition which was facing more problems.
Umno's scandal-hit candidate Rohaizat Othman, who has been disbarred as a lawyer, is facing Penang PAS state commissioner Mohd Salleh Man in a straight fight in the by-election this Tuesday.
Two PKR lawmakers in Perak quit with a DAP lawmaker last February and brought down the Pakatan state government led by PAS's Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin.
None of the PKR or DAP lawmakers have joined Barisan Nasional although they have pledged support for the federal coalition.
Their resignations have been a blow for Anwar, who predicted he could form the federal government with 30 MPs from Barisan which has ruled the country since Merdeka when the coalition was known as the Alliance.
Anwar's Pakatan won 82 seats in the 222-seat Parliament and five states in Election 2008, breaking the Barisan's traditional two-thirds parliamentary majority.
PKR vice-president Sivarasa Rasiah said today “cash inducements” could have prompted Radzhi to quit, denying the party was facing cracks.

Of course BN just got the sale money on amanah 1 Malaysia, so now you BN could make big swing with this money to buy the greedy katak.
Even if another 10 PR Assembley-man leaves before GE 13, I will not also vote for BN because your party corrupts to the core and beyond redeem.
All these frogs or would be frogs will also be wiped out completely by PR who don't toe the line.
Voting for you is like betraying my race and religion.
i have one request DPM ,could you ask Radhzi to swear in front of allah by holding the holy quran by declaring he left PR not because somebody in UMNO/BN have given him money or any benefits but purely because he have no confidence in the PR leadership ,therefore volunteering left the present party by becoming independent friendly towards BN. This is a fasting month .
these ADUNs leave the party not because of ideological differences but of greed like Froggie Hee Jit Foong. In their life time they cannot even make half a million ringgit and suddenly the men from UMNO came in with fast bucks of a couple of million. Thus they just leave the people who elected him/her, walk away with the cash and perhaps join the current ruling party and make more (depending whether they are still useful). This DPM is nothing but an arrogant Minister. This is not the way to the people's heart. In fact dear DPM, if you have any consultants or advisers worth his salt they will ask you to shut your mouth.
Evil BN, evil government! Voter in Permatang Pasir, please vote wisely!
Muhyiddin is mistaken about one detail. Educated and in-the-know voters no longer see it as a battle between BN and PKR. We see it as a fight between an old-fashioned, racist and corrupted administration that has led the country into steep deterioration, and those that are opposed to that. Weak as PKR is in its current state, it is the one credible threat to your corrupted colleagues and even if BN managed to entice more assemblymen with "cash rewards" to leave, we will only vote in more agents of change in the next election.
